In 1S45, as John Mimic had to go up the

after things of minor Importance, and q

er. Some where on the grand river, when
among the ranges that tower above
Cape Horn, Mimic noticed that
the Indians acted very singularly
and rather suspiciously. They stopped
the canoes and looked down in the water
intently. Then two slaves and a s~ub-chief
got into the smaller canoe and started to
cross h river. Suddenly Mimic dropped
on it" INT saw what the Indians saw. II

when the air and water are clear as crystal.
The sun of autumn either had not risen so as
to reach the deep canyon with its rays, OF
had dropped behind the western heights.
Any way, these heights were reflected SC
perfectly on the surface Of the river that
the Indians had watched he mountain
sNes as they padded along. The cause OF
their strange action was seeing a bear on q
high ridge across the river from them eat
ing berries. The two slaves took their
fuses and crossed the river to attack. They
climbed the bluff, took aim, fired missed,
and the bear ran away-he was not hurt.

ence to outside labor with which they come into
competition. Since no matter by which plan an
article is produced 1t necessarily lessons, to
the same extent, the demand for Its production
elsewhere.
The only way 10 diminish this competition
and prevent the injury occasioned by it Is to
limit the number Of men to be employed at any
one industry, by employing them at hand-work
and on the public buildings and the public high
ways. Everything else that has been suggested
seems theoretical rather than practical.
The following tabulated statement shows the
population, current expense, and the cost per
capita In the several public institutions for the
year ending November Is, 1888, together with a
comparison between the per capita cost for the
years 1885 and 1885.
The figures given speak more forcibly than
any words that can be used of the economy that
has prevailed in the financial management. 1t
will be observed that this cost has been largely
reduced, In comparison with last year, with the
single exception of the Institution for the Blind
